Ingredients

Scale
  • Mini bagels (rainbow or plain, sliced in halves) – about 12 mini bagels
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended, dairy-free alternative optional)
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles or colored sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Slice mini bagels in half horizontally if not pre-sliced. Brush the cut sides lightly with melted butter.
  4. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each bagel half.
  5. Sprinkle the tops with rainbow sprinkles or colored sugar, pressing lightly to stick.
  6. Place bagel halves cut side up on the baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden and crunchy and cheese is bubbling.
  7. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading. Brush bagels with melted butter to achieve a golden, crispy edge. Rotate baking tray halfway through for even cooking. If bagels brown too fast, tent with foil. For gluten-free, use gluten-free mini bagels. Dairy-free cream cheese and cheese alternatives can be used for lactose intolerance or vegan versions. Air frying at 350°F for 8 minutes is an alternative cooking method.
